One thousand mourners were expected and hundreds turned out to honor and reflect on the girl with the radiant smile, Jessica Scholl, at her memorial service Sunday afternoon at Lindbergh High School.

It was just a little over a week after the junior was found dead in her family’s house, which is

just around the corner from the school.

Police believe 19-year-old Jarod T. Lane, a former Lind-bergh student, brutally mur-dered Scholl and set the family’s house on fire May 25.

The mood was somber and uplifting at times as friends, family and a teacher celebrated Scholl’s life.

“We are here today to cel-ebrate the life of an eagle; sadly this eagle has already ascended, ad astra – as your motto says – to the stars,” said Rev. Allan Folmar, referring to the school’s

mascot.Friends Whitney Davis and

Haley Barnes sobbed, remem-bering Scholl like a sister and describing their many good times together.

Scholl’s uncle, Paul Harvey, remembered his niece who “lived to text her friends,” play Super Mario Bros. Wii, karaoke

and listened to Taylor Swift.She was often scolded by

relatives for letting her bangs hide her pretty face. Scholl was the only person her uncle knew who could also be bored while on vacation in Hawai’i, he said.

She was shy, but if she had something to say, she would say it, Harvey said.

He quoted some of her posts from Facebook, one which started, “Live with no regrets, you can’t undo what’s been done.”

Harvey urged the audience not to speculate or blame. “Don’t go there, there is no answer, it makes no sense and it

Private liquor sales got off to a brisk start in Renton, with security much in evidence at some stores and con-sumers scratching their heads about prices.

The Renton Reporter checked eight retail outlets Friday, June 1, the first day that liquor was sold somewhere other than a state-run liquor store or an authorized contract store.

In all about 30 retailers eventually will sell liquor in Renton but that number could grow.

As far as the Police Department goes, the sale of liquor has gotten off to a quiet start, but “it’s still early,” said Police Chief Kevin Milosevich.

Milosevich has some concerns about the expanded liquor sales, including the later hours liquor is available for purchase.

Renton City Council member Don Persson, a retired Renton deputy police chief, doesn’t expect to see a big difference in the amount of liquor purchased.

However, he is concerned that sales-tax revenue from liquor sales will remain in the state’s hands, rather

For a jockey and a thoroughbred to win the Triple Crown – the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont – is a pin-

nacle seldom reached in horse racing.Legendary jockey agent Ivan Puhich Jr., a

1945 graduate of Renton High School, will watch and cheer Saturday as jockey Mario Gutierrez races I’ll Have Another in the 1.5-mile Belmont Stakes in New York.

Puhich brought together this winning combination of horse and rider, who have already won the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

There hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner since 1978 when Steve Cauthen and Affirmed won the prize.

“It’s a fairytale ending is what it really is,” said Mike Puhich, Ivan’s nephew. “His (Ivan’s) career is pretty much over and this is kind of a last type of deal. The fact that these

The Renton Farmers Market at the Piazza got off to another soggy start this Tuesday, but folks turned out despite the rain.

The market’s open

every Tuesday until Sept. 25. The Farmers Market at Valley Medical Center opens Sunday and runs through Sept. 16. It’s open noon to 4 p.m. every Sun-day in the medical center’s parking lot.

Visitors at the down-town market will discover

seafood vendors and a grilled vegetable vendor, which are two of the new featured vendors this year.

Familiar favorites are back like the same flower vendors, the shaved ice stand and Los Chilangos, the popular meat grilled on a spit.

Look for special themed days and events, which aren’t new but will be given more attention this year.

An Irish Day, Chinese Day, Italian Day, Hawaiian Day, Kids Day and Red, White and Blue Day are some of the themed days planned.

Valria Lopez, market coordinator, anticipates

that produce will arrive faster this year than last.

“Hopefully it wasn’t as cold this spring as last year,” she said. “Last year it was really slow getting vegetables in, but this year it’s been a little warmer in April and May. So, I’ve already seen cherries, so that’s a really good sign.”

Vender Hazel Lao was back at the market for her second time selling American and Filipino candies and cookies.

Lao participated in the downtown market and Valley Medical’s Sunday market last year.

She enjoys coming because of the diverse groups of vendors and she called Lopez, the coordi-nator, “wonderful.”

“I love it, there’s a huge crowd all the time,” Lao said. “There’s happy people and it’s a great market.”

Tuesday’s crowd wasn’t huge, but a steady stream circulated through the Piazza.

“I’ve been impressed; there’s been a lot of people coming despite the rain,” said Mia Stephenson of Seattle Central Bakery. “I think we’ve got a lot of regular customers here who are glad the market’s starting up again.”Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484.

Changing the myth of scary dentistry,one smile at a time...

Emergency Dental Tip:In general, baby teeth that get dislodged are not re-implanted due to the risk of compromising the forming adult tooth. For dislodged permanent teeth, do the following: –locate all of the pieces or whole tooth, hold tooth by the crown not the root and rinse gently with warm water if dirty. Never transport the tooth in water or scrub the root. Place the tooth in either milk or saline solution. The tooth has the best chance of survival if replaced within 30 minutes. Follow up with dentist as soon as possible. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

The Renton School District was considering using applicants from the Teach for America program, but a higher influx of more quali-fied applicants to open teaching positions has taken the idea off the table.

Randy Matheson, district spokes-person, confirmed June 1 the dis-trict’s human resources department has received more applicants for teaching positions than it thought it would originally receive.

The only reason the district was considering using the Teach for America program is because dis-trict officials were concerned about being able to fill the more than 70 open positions in the district, Matheson said.

Those positions are open due to staff retirements, maternity leaves and the relocation of teachers out of the district.

The district typically has about 100 open positions from year to year due in part to the student population growing by 200 students every year, meaning more teachers are needed.

The Teach for America program has been controversial in other schools districts.

In March the Seattle School Board voted to keep its partnership with Teach for America, although the vote wasn’t unanimous.

The debate over who was quali-fied to teach students in that district brought about tension from union officials and community activists in Seattle.

The controversy stems from the belief by some that novice teachers in the Teach for America program will be hired, instead of more expe-rienced teaching staff.

Teach for America calls itself a “national teacher corps of recent college graduates who commit two

years to teach and to effect change in under-resourced urban and rural public schools,” according to its web site.

At a Renton School Board meeting in May, Renton teaching staff addressed the school board with their dismay that the district was even considering using the program.

Despite emails and calls to Phyllis Silling Renton Education Association president, the teachers union was quiet on the issue. She did not respond to inquiries from the Renton Reporter.

Renton Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel is a teacher and can identify with them.

She served in the classroom as a certified regular and special educa-tion teacher for 10 years, before she moved to assessment and later administration.

She called teaching a “complex profession.”

“This is ‘my’ profession,” Heu-schel said in an email when the district was still considering the program. “I am a fierce supporter and advocate of our teachers. I have an unwavering commitment to supporting the teaching profession, specifically with the Renton School District team of caring, dedicated professionals.”

Heuschel noted that the district already has teachers in its career and technical education program who earned their certification through other state-approved alternative routes like the Teach for America program.

Because of the amount of online applicants the district’s human resource office has received as of Thursday, May 31, the district will not put the question of Teach for America before the school board. It is no longer considering using the program.

Seven naturally occurring logs have formed a spanning log jam downstream of the Belmondo Reach on the Cedar River. King County

Two major logjams are spanning the lower Cedar River, creating a hazard for recreational users on the river.

The river remains open, however, that status could change when the weather warms up and more recreational users float the river, said Sgt. Jim Knauss, with the King County Sheriff ’s Office Marine Unit.

Anyone who comes across a major logjam should call 911 so that the proper authorities are notified.

Downstream of Belmondo Reach, seven

logs have formed a log jam as a result of two recent slides and wood that has ac-cumulated from upriver, according to King County Department of Natural Resources.

Signs upstream of the log jam direct river users to exit the river on the left and portage around the log jam.

Below this stretch of the Cedar, two downed cottonwood trees are spanning the channel near the fishing trail off the Cedar River Trail upstream of State Route 169 and Southeast 164th Street.

never will,” he said.Harvey told the mourners it was all right

to feel whatever they were feeling and that Jessica would not want them to hold on to anger and hurt forever.

All of Scholl’s teachers attended the me-morial, including Kara Crum who taught Scholl in her Independent Living and Child Development classes.

“When I became a teacher, I never thought I would have to do this for one of my students,” Crum said, addressing the audience.

In an interview after the ceremony, Crum revealed that Scholl had confided in her about problems in Scholl’s relationship with Lane.

Lane was one of Crum’s students when he attended Lindbergh, taking the same classes Scholl would later take from Crum.

“So that made it really hard for me, because I had this student (Lane) and I had Jessica,” Crum said. “And when she came to me for advice on how to break up with Jarod, I knew that it would be difficult.”

Crum worked with Scholl on the situation and said her family and friends

knew what was going on.“And Jarod would not respond posi-

tively to that message, so it would be hard for him,” she said. “But, who knew that it would be like this; nobody could ever think that it would end up like this.”

Crum is glad that Scholl’s parents are now advocating for more education in high schools about teenage relationships.

At the memorial service on Sunday, purple bracelets with the message “Jess 4me Stop Teen Violence” inscribed on them, were passed out to attendees.

The family decided to distribute the wristbands, in Scholl’s favorite color and

Suspect remains in jailNineteen-year-old Jarod T. Lane remained in jail mid-week in Oklahoma City, Okla., on first-degree mur-der charges in the death of Jessica Scholl. When he was to return to Renton to face the charges was still uncertain. an ini-tial court appearance is scheduled for June 11 at the regional justice center in Kent.Two Renton police department detectives returned to Renton Friday after several days in Oklahoma, where they interviewed Lane and collected evidence.

also bearing her name and her graduation year, 2013.

“We’ll be working with the family on programs and extending it beyond our schools to the commu-nity and hopefully beyond even Washington state,” said Mary Alice Heuschel, Renton school district superintendent.

Heuschel attended the memorial and thanked the media on behalf of the family for honoring their privacy throughout the week’s developments.

Lindbergh Principal Tres Genger is still trying to make sense out of his school’s latest tragedy.

Students and staff had a difficult week but were sup-ported by counseling staff, he said.

“I wouldn’t say that things are back to normal in the building, but they’re getting better,” Genger said.

He knew Scholl as well as he could at a school with more than 1,200 students.

“But, Jessica certainly was a positive influence on many students as well as many staff in the building,” Genger said. “And the loss of her has had a ripple effect on people in the building.”

Teachers have become more reflective and students more aware of the idea that life is fragile, he said.

Crum had to adjust her curriculum the previous week as the subject matter of one of her classes ironi-cally dealt with dating and domestic violence.

“A lot of these kids, their relationships are so intense; they’re about passion and physical and emotional feelings,” she said.

“It’s like you need to teach them that, that’s good to a certain extent, but at the same time you’re sup-posed to just have fun with each other.”

City needs to pay attention to preserving trees

In looking at the plans for the Rainier Avenue project, I don’t see pulloffs for buses to load/unload passengers. This is one of the main problems for traffic problems along Rainier Avenue and just about every bus stop in Renton. Bus loading/unloading pulloffs should be part of every street project. This only makes sense when the streets are all torn up anyway.

I also hope that the City of Renton will be putting in more

mature trees than the ones that were put in on Wells and the streets surrounding Wells.

The slash-and-burn policy by the City of Renton, when it comes to recent mature tree removal on Rainier Ave and Wells, is shocking, especially when Renton was given a Green City Award in the not-too-distant past.

I would hope that more mature trees will be used to replace all the mature trees that have been re-moved along Rainier Avenue. It will take years for the tiny trees planted on and around Wells to regain the beauty and cover of the removed trees.

It is unfortunate that planned projects cannot include working with and around mature trees/landscaping. I.E. the plans for the sidewalks on Wells should have incorporated the mature trees and offending tree roots by allowing for extra space when laying the new sidewalks.

The tree replacement in down-town Renton over the past several years has not been well thought out. When we moved here 10 years ago, we were impressed by all of the trees in and around downtown Renton. Now the downtown area/Rainier Avenue is looking bleak and will be looking bleak for a long

time to come. Trees don’t grow real fast which is why we have to build and plan around them whenever possible.

P.S. The city needs to remind businesses that put in tree planters to water them and to put them in places that get rain. An example of this is the two magnificent cedar trees, which are now very dead, that are on Main Avenue South at the vacant Stix and Stones Restaurant. The City Council and mayor need to take a walk around the down-town area. Some businesses are not keeping up their areas.Phyllis ForisterRenton

I didn’t like the idea of privatizing liquor sales for all sorts of reasons. After visiting eight retail outlets last Friday, my opposition may have softened but not much.

It’s going to take some time to get used to see-ing gin and whiskey and vodka across the aisle from the chips or near the tiki torches.

Really, the displays aren’t all that big, maybe an aisle front and back or just something up against a wall. The ones I saw on that first day of private sales in nearly 80 years had some gaping holes in the displays or just minimal inventory. That will change, but still you have to ask, why bother?

The answer, of course, is the bottom line and one more lucrative addition to the product line.

I took my liquor tour as a reporter, but also as a curios-ity seeker, much like others who stopped into the stores just to gaze on the spirits and check out the prices.

It seemed particularly busy at Fred Meyer on Rainier Avenue. I was watching the shoppers as much as seeing what was for sale. A young man and an older one shopping together caught my attention. They also caught the attention of store employees who obviously and not so obviously were keeping an eye on shoppers, too.

I liked that enhanced security. Here’s another piece of that.

Anyone would quickly figure out that shoplift-ing a fifth of whiskey was fruitless if you had to break the bottle to remove the cap lock. That’s one reason my opposition softened. Other retail-ers need to pay attention to Fred Meyer’s efforts to keep control of who buys liquor at its stores.

And, no, I don’t own stock in Fred Meyer. I am a little miffed the busy former state liquor

store at Renton Center is moving – because Fred Meyer wouldn’t give the new liquor-license holder a lease for the space. But maybe that’s why Freddies is so busy, a built-in customer base used to buying nearby.

I stopped by Costco in Tukwila over the week-end to do some shopping, but really to see how the mega-wholesale store that paid mega-bucks to pass Initiative 1183 was displaying the liquor. I will say that Costco had the best selection, but still far short of what I would expect to see in former state-run stores (if the new owners do it right) or contract liquor stores like 4th Street Wine and Spirits.

Anyone who has lived where liquor is sold almost everywhere, in such places as Califor-nia and Alaska, probably doesn’t see what the big deal is. Only about a quarter of the nation’s population lives in states where the sale of alco-hol is somehow controlled.

But this is a big deal.Anyone who has been touched by the dangers

of alcohol – a drunken driver who killed a loved one or a family member wracked by alcoholism – hates to see it proliferate. Anyone who worries about minors having more potential access to liquor hates to see this happen right at gradua-tion time.

Liquor is a “controlled substance” – a drug that can kill. Now it’s part of our everyday lives, right next to the chips and tiki torches. I am not for prohibition. I just favored some control over this drug.

Now it will become normal and accepted. It doesn’t deserve that, especially in the eyes of our kids.

than going to the cities.Responsibility for making

sure liquor is sold legally inside a store and rules are followed falls on enforce-ment officers with the Washington state Liquor Control Board, which did not receive any additional funding under I-1183 for enforcement efforts at the greatly expanded number of sales outlets.

Enforcement officers will visit all retail outlets in the coming year to introduce themselves and offer educa-tion as well as enforcement, said Mikhail Carpenter, a liquor board spokesman.

He said the compliance officers intend to maintain one of the highest compli-ance rates in the nation.

“Working in our favor is that many, if not most of the new spirits licensees already have beer and wine licenses,” he said. “They are already very familiar with the laws governing the legal sale of alcohol, as well as acquainted with enforce-ment personnel.”

Last Friday, the Renton Reporter stopped by Fred

Meyer at the Renton Center; the Saar’s Market, RiteAid and the former state-run store on Sunset Boulevard; Albertsons farther out on Sunset, and finally QFC, Safeway and a former contract store on Northeast Fourth Street.

Fred Meyer was doing brisk business much of the day, with security keeping a close eye on buyers. Each liquor bottle had a bottle lock, which only a clerk can remove. Anyone walk-ing out of the store with the lock still on the bottle would set off a security alarm.

Other outlets had similar

bottle locks on some of their liquor bottles, but wouldn’t say on the record whether they would set off an alarm if removed from the store.

Fred Meyer, according to a store employee, was tak-ing security seriously, even to the point of watching whether cash was ex-changed in the liquor aisle – perhaps a minor giving an adult the money to buy the liquor.

In such cases both customers have to produce identification at checkout.

But, beyond security, the biggest question customers had was how much is the

state liquor taxes going to add to the posted price of the liquor on the shelves?

The answer is: 20.5 percent in sales tax and a $3.77 per-liter tax. Most outlets spelled out the extra costs in clearly displayed explanations, if not on the actual price tag.

Bret Ewing was check-ing out the new display of liquor at the QFC store on Northeast Fourth Street. There was a sense of ca-maraderie among a small group of shoppers eyeing the display, talking about prices and what’s available.

“I think it’s about time,”

Ewing said the private liquor sales, made pos-sible by the voter-approved Initiative 1183. He said the prices seemed “all over the place.”

There’s been some belief expressed that private sales will mean higher prices.

The liquor displays don’t take up much more than an aisle or half-aisle, as a gen-eral observation. Typically, the liquor is with the beer and wine. At Fred Meyer, you can turn around and buy chips.

The selection is smaller than what was found in the state-run stores, which closed for good on May 30.

The next day, the man-ager of the state-run store at Renton Center, Bob Fazio,

was doing an inventory of stock and packing it up for return to the liquor board distribution center in Se-attle. The right to apply for a liquor license at the store was purchased for $270,000 by an Indiana man.

However, as is the case with other state-run stores, this store, one of the busiest in Western Washington, will have to move else-where. The owner is look-ing at possible locations nearby, possibly still on Rainier Avenue.

Fazio explained that Fred Meyer did not give the new owner a lease for the space.

Fazio saw holiday-like sales on the last day.

“It was Christmas in May,” he said.

Lyn del Fierro, a former employee of the now-closed, state-run liquor store at Renton Center, spent May 31 with other store employees packing up the remaining merchandise at the store. Dean a. RaDfoRD, Renton Reporter

A Seattle man convicted of murder and his wife have been charged with second-degree assault in the attack on an off-duty Renton police officer trying to defuse a road-rage incident June 1 on State Route 167.

Charged Wednesday by King County prosecutors were Tony Lee Combs, 33, and Nancy Walton Drahold, 31.

They were being held in the King County Jail in Kent, Combs on $175,000 bail and Drahold on $100,000 bail. Arraignment is June 18 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center.

The 37-year-old police officer, Randy Jensen, a 10-year veteran of the Renton force, suffered facial lacerations, sore ribs and multiple contusions; he was treated at

Valley Medical Center and released.He was expected to return to work this

week.Jensen was northbound in his private

vehicle on SR 167 at about 1:30 p.m. Friday. At the freeway’s interchange with Interstate 405, he witnessed a dispute after a white Mercedes merging onto SR 167 almost hit a Toyota Corolla on the road, according to charging documents.

The Mercedes, driven by Combs, stopped, blocking all traffic turning east onto Grady Way, including the Toyota. Combs and Drahold got out of their car and walked toward the Toyota. At the same time, Jensen got out of his car, displayed his badge and identified himself as a police officer.

His wife and three-year-old daughter were in the family van.

According to prosecutors, Combs took a swing at Jensen and Drahold scratched his face. Combs continued punching Jensen in the face. Jensen was knocked to the ground, face down. Combs put him in a chokehold and continued to punch Jensen’s head and body. Jensen eventually was able to get up.

Combs and Drahold then drove away in the Mercedes but were arrested later driv-ing Drahold’s Cadillac in Renton.

Combs told investigators he didn’t get into a near collision and his Mercedes had stalled in the intersection. He got out of his car with Drahold to explain this to Jensen, who had told him to get going.

Combs told investigators he didn’t know Jensen was a police officer during the as-sault and he didn’t show his badge until af-ter the altercation. Combs told investigators that Jensen grabbed their shirts, at which

point Combs “put him on the ground.”Combs told investigators that Jensen

never attempted to strike him.According to prosecutors, 11 citizens

called 911; investigators spoke with 10 of them. The witnesses confirmed Jensen’s ac-count of the incident nor did any see Jensen provoke the assault.

In setting bail, prosecutors wrote they were concerned that Combs and Drahold would fail to appear at court hearings.

Combs’ criminal history includes convic-tions for second-degree murder in 1995, third-degree child rape in 2002, assault, vehicle theft and tampering with a witness.

Drahold has convictions for loitering, prostitution, fourth-degree assault and forgery.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.

Gaye L. TurnerGaye L. Turner passed away at her home in Auburn,

Washington on May 19, 2012 after suffering a short bout with pancreatic cancer. Gaye will be laid to rest at Mountain View cemetery in Auburn.

Her parents, John and Dorothy lived on a remote ranch out of Laredo, Texas. Before it was time for the twins to be born, they traveled to McAllen, Texas where Gaye’s maternal grandparents lived so that there was available medical care. Gaye was born in McAllen in 1937, just a few minutes before her twin sister, Kaye.

Gaye’s childhood was spent on several different ranches as her father moved in search of good pasture for his herd of cattle. This created a wonderful variety of childhood experiences. But an apartment or house in town was always available so the girls could have the best education possible, then out to the ranch for the weekend.

Gaye graduated co-valedictorian of her high school class with her twin who had identical grade point averages. Following high school, Gaye attended the University of Texas in Austin with a major in pharmacy. She graduated SUMA CUM LAUDE from pharmacy school with additional special high honors.

While attending the University of Texas, she met her soul mate, C. Warren Turner. They married in 1961 and moved to Seattle, Washington where they eventually raised their two boys. Warren worked as an engineer, while Gaye worked as a pharma-cist for Group Health.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Gaye was a talented seamstress, cross country skier, outdoor adventurer, quilt maker, artist, traveler, and a wonderful mother. She was active with the Kent Seniors and a member of Kent United Methodist Church.

Gaye was preceded in death by her parents, John and Dorothy and by her husband, C. Warren Turner. She is survived by; her sister Kaye, her sister June, her brother Bay Clifton, her son William, her son Stephen, and four grandchildren.

Memorial service will be held 2:00 P.M. Sunday, June 10, 2012 at the Kent United Methodist Church, 11010 S.E. 248th St. Arrangements by Yahn & Son Funeral Home, Auburn.

Renton wins major case on federal payment of feesThe City of Renton has

won a major case against the federal government that will allow it to collect up to $30,000 in storm-water fees owed by the Bonneville Power Administration.

The ruling was handed down last week by the U.S. District Court for the West-ern District of Washington in Seattle.

Doug Johnson, a BPA spokesman, said Tuesday the agency is “studying the ruling and we’re consider-ing our options.”

The federal government stopped paying its storm-water fees for the Bonnev-ille Power Administration (BPA) electricity site in

Renton, and later sued Renton, claiming that it did not have to pay its storm-water fees, according to a Renton news release.

The U.S. District Court agreed with Renton and ruled that under Congress’s intent and the Clean Water Act of 1977, the federal government has to com-ply with all state and local requirements regarding reducing water pollution, including the payment of reasonable service charges, according to the city.

“Payment of these reasonable service charges will give Renton, and every other state or local govern-ment, the authority to make

the federal government accountable for their fair share of storm water abate-ment costs,” said Mayor Denis Law.

There are several fed-eral buildings in Renton, including BPA, two post offices, the Federal Reserve, and potentially an FAA site, that generate storm water and would be responsible for costs to help control, abate or treat the storm water.

A Newcastle woman was robbed while working at a Renton retail store on May 18.

The 54-year-old woman is the store manager of C'est La Vie in The Land-ing. She noticed her wallet missing at about 3:30 p.m. She left her purse with her wallet in it near the back office on the floor.

The woman noticed a suspicious man come into the high-end women's fashion boutique sometime after 1

p.m.He was a white male, 6-feet-tall,

about 40-years-old, medium build with scraggily pepper-grey beard, wearing a blue jacket and carrying a target bag.

The woman made eye contact with him and he immediately left the store.

She then noticed her Luis Vuitton wallet was missing with her bank cards inside.

While she was calling her bank to

report the loss, the bank informed her someone had just tried to withdraw $800 from her account from an ATM on South Grady Way.

Police were to review video surveil-lance of the shop.

two unassuming guys hooked up, Mario not knowing anybody and Ivan coming out of retirement to have a horse that’s going for the Triple Crown – that’s pretty cool.”

Ivan has been profiled in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.

He was described as a storied jockey’s agent with 70 years of “Yoda-esque knowl-edge of the racing game, as well as an encyclope-dia’s worth of stories, on the sport’s virtues and vagaries,” in the New York Times’ story by Jon Drape.

Longacres racetrack, closed 20 years ago, was Puhich’s early training ground. The 85-year-old Puhich is from Renton and the Puhich family has deep roots in the com-munity and the horse-racing industry at Longacres.

Gutierrez and Puhich may never have

connected if it wasn’t for nephew Mike Puhich, a well-known horse trainer and 1981 graduate of Renton High School.

Mike introduced the jockey, who’s originally from Vera Cruz, Mexico, to his uncle at Mike’s birthday party in Southern California last year.

Ivan now lives in California.They all knew each other on the regional

horse-racing scene because Gutierrez raced at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, B.C., and has raced at Emerald Downs in

Auburn. Gutierrez also rode

horses at the Pegasus Training and Equine Rehabilitation Center in Redmond, where Mike is the general manager.

A year ago, Mike and Ivan were in Southern California and Gutierrez needed an agent.

Mike told Gutierrez that his uncle was in his mid-80s and hadn’t been working but was well known in the industry.

“We didn’t know it would take off like this,” Mike said.

I’ll Have Another was one of the first horses Puhich picked for Gutierrez to ride after he became Gutierrez’s agent.

The team won the Kentucky Derby on May 5 and beat Bodemeister at the wire at the Preakness on May 19.

Since the victories, Gutierrez has been bombarded with media and attention from the likes of Jay Leno and other interview opportunities – so much so that Ivan has had to get a talent agent to handle the at-

tention.But “it’s a nice problem to have,” said

Mike.Mike plays the role of cheerleader on his

uncle’s team. Now Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another are

positioned to make history Saturday if they can triumph in the Belmont race.

It’s called the most demanding leg of the Triple Crown.

With the odds at 4 to 5, I’ll Have Another is the favorite to win but not a shoe-in by any means, said Mike.

Only 11 thoroughbreds have won the Triple Crown, starting in 1919 with Sir Barton.

Mike said his uncle is “pretty excited” about the race Saturday and all that it means.

Ivan and Mike will arrive at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday in Mike Pegram’s pri-vate jet. Pegram owned Real Quiet, who in 1998 was nosed out of becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner.

The Puhichs and the I’ll Have Another team will be seated somewhere close to the track in box seats on Saturday.

“Yeah, it’s surprising I guess, but it’s pretty much like a fairytale,” said Mike. “Like wow, you couldn’t have written it any better in Hollywood.”

Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484.

New York Times describes Puhich’s ‘Yoda-esque knowledge’[ BELMONT from page 1]

Mario Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another edged out Bodemeister at the wire of the Preakness Stakesn on May 19. ChristineGeorge.com

FYI

The Puhich family in RentonEldest Puhich family member, Ivan Sr., was born

in Yugoslavia in 1893 and immigrated to the United States in 1906, according to the Renton History Museum.

He came with his older brother, Steve, and settled in Cle Elum, working as a coal miner and a logger.

He and his wife Pauline lived on Williams Street in Renton, where they raised their family. They had six boys: Nicholas, Joseph, Ivan Jr., Stan, Edward and one son who died at an early age.

The family got into thoroughbred racing when Nicholas took a job as a hot walker at Longacres in Renton.

All of the boys followed and worked jobs at the track at some point.

Nephew Mike Puhich’s first job was the same as his father Nick’s and he eventually became a trainer at Longacres up until the track’s last year in 1992.

Mike trained horses at Emerald Downs when it opened and has been in Redmond with Dr. Mark Dedomenico’s Pegasus Training and Equine Rehabili-tation Center for the last five years.

Joseph Puhich has owned Puhich Dry Cleaners in Renton for 63 years. He’s also owned a trophy shop for the last 40 years.

If Ivan’s jockey and horse win the Triple Crown, Joseph says, “I think that’s great, that’s a big deal for him.”

FYI

The 144th Belmont Stakes will air on NBC, KING-TV Channel 5 lo-cally, 1:30 p.m.-4 p.m. Saturday.

Totem-pole rescuers honoredThe Renton Historical Society presented its George

and Annie Lewis Custer Award for Heritage Citizenship Wednesday to a team of preservationists who rescued and restored the Henry Moses Honoring Pole in 2011.

Jim Ploegman, White-Bear, Fred Lund and Chad Lind-strom worked together from autumn 2010 to spring 2011 to return the stolen honoring pole, restore it to its original beauty, and relocate it at the Fred Meyer Shopping Center at Rainier Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.

The Custer Award is given by the Renton Historical Soci-ety to recognize extraordinary contributions to document-ing, preserving, or educating about Renton’s history.

“The saga of the Henry Moses Honoring Pole’s resto-ration is an extraordinary story,” said museum director Elizabeth P. Stewart.

The Henry Moses Honoring Pole stands near the Fred Meyer store on Rainier. Submitted
